Question: Which of our animals wears a toupee?

Answer: Next time one of our Addax approaches you, check out the top of its head, right between the horns. You will see a shock of brown hair that very much resembles a toupee. No, they didn’t get in line for Howard Cossell’s cast-offs. From field observations it appears that they do turn the top of their heads toward the sun on cool days and the dark coloring helps to absorb sunlight to warm them.
